Spiral Does Three This First Quarter

We had our eyes glued on stage when we were treated with a great afternoon of Korean, Chinese and Valentines flair at Sofitel Manila. First up is the Korean Food Festival, a thing that they're celebrating in the hotel for the first time. It's a mix of cultural performances, experience and lovely Korean food offerings that will be done in Spiral the whole month and will remain in the offerings in one of the dining ateliers in the best buffet destination in the Philippines. Aside from that, they flew in Chef Jang Bo-Ik of Grand Ambassador Seoul to conduct a few Korean cooking demonstrations and lessons at Sofitel, just ask so you could participate with these efforts by the Korean Cultural Center and the hotel.

 They will also have legit Korean Hanbok and dresses displayed for photo ops in Spiral so if you feel like dressing up, it'll be fun in specially designed photo booths they prepared during the event. I love the small sweets they also had us try plus the beef dishes and kimchi which is probably part of their cuisine. You should ask the hotel how you would be able to experience that too and they can make arrangements.

Valentines Day at Sofitel

For those looking for the perfect venue to have those perfect dates this Valentines day, Sofitel offers their place plus Sunset plus special packages during this time. They also got all the aphrodisiacs lined up if you're a little frisky on these dates. I love the Balut so much I had to put it here!

 To lobsters, sea cucumbers, abalone, they've got that prepared if you want your dinner to be the best. They can also arrange it in Sofitel's rooftop where you can literally have a grand view of the city and Manila Bay. Just ask and they can arrange the perfect proposal venue for you within hotel grounds. I've seen it myself and it is just picturesque! You should consider popping the question this February. Spiral and Sofitel has a lot of ways to say I love you, they can help you with that too.

Lunar New Year at Spiral

Usher in the Lunar New Year in Spiral as they welcome the Monkey with prosperity plates filled with almost imperial dishes whether ala carte or part of their buffet offerings. I gasped seeing the tons of food they had us try that afternoon.

Chef Michael Tai offers 10 secrets to happiness and features dishes to interpret prosperity, faith and fortune. Aside from that, Albert Andrada will be having his La Prosperite Chinoise Collection right on Spiral's grounds so you'll have a real deal world class fashion show from the man who dressed Ms. Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach in that iconic Blue Gown she wore in the pageant.

It was majestic, and this is actually just one of them. So just imagine what Albert Andrada has up on his sleeves come Sunday lunch of the Chinese New Year Celebrations in Sofitel!

This is impressive, I can't wait to see the rest of the year with Sofitel. For reservations, please call 551-5555 and ask for the 4 course dinner with wine offers. I like that specifically.

Derek Ramsay, Solenn Heussaff, Kean Cipriano and Kiray Celis for Love is Blind

We had the chance to be in the Love is Blind blogcon in Luxent Hotel, QC. We talked to the film's star Derek Ramsay, Solenn Heussaff, Kean Cipriano and the newest bombshell and apple of the eye of Derek, Kiray Celis. This offering from Regal Films talks about the play of physical love, attraction and romance between four people who believed in love potions and it's effects on people.

The Director of the film Jason Paul Laxamana said he had to adjust a bit in treatment because he's very used to doing indie films. He wanted to be bery detailed and is so glad about the the experience of making a mainstream film. Derek also lamented "Obsession is a scary thing, I've dealt with that in the past and know how dangerous it is. You can be dimplomatic about it but you have to get your point across. Obsession is different from love and you need to draw that line that you appreciate the admiration but there are boundaries. There are really funny scenes here including me kissing Kiray, where she had to spit on me. My other films are not so into Valentines, but this is a light film and everybody can watch it."

Kean adds "You don't know how it happens, it's overwhelming to see people with art that we do. We go through things like that and it's no joke. I did a scene with Derek and had to do massages, which was awkward. I can't forget the daring scenes we did on the first day. I wanna leave a part of myself in everything that I do including acting. Love is beautiful, even if deception is involved but you'll learn what true love is because of what she's doing in the movie."

Kiray says she had to learn how to love someone, she didn't prepare at all and thought she was doing a small role. "I thought I was just doing the kid Fe but later on realized I was also doing everything. I won't pressure anyone to like me because I deserve someone who would go the mile for me, that's just how I am. I couldn't get hold of the fact that I had to bear my body a bit, I'm very conservative. Although there were times he was mounting me, I can't say any more than that. I wasn't think about his thing in the scene. I'll try next time."

Love is Blind will be showing on February 10 and is the official offering for Valentines Day of Regal Films. Thank you so much to everyone who went to the event. It was awesome meeting the cast!
